Together Saga and Jarl managed to survive their years at school, guarding their secrets from even their closest friends. When Jarl graduates as a full mage and Saga becomes a weapons master, it is time for them to return to Vanaheim where Jarl will continue his studies as future ruler. This training includes extensive travel in the countryside so Jarl can meet many of his future subjects and practice his Wayfarer skills.
Saga, feeling confined after so many years at the school, can’t wait for the adventure and freedom the travel will bring. Hints they may be in danger doesn’t deter her enthusiasm. Especially when they discover her people may be behind the rumors.
Jarl, also excited about the adventure, is a bit more apprehensive about the danger they may face. He worries how his parents will react if Saga’s people are present on his world, and fears for Saga’s safety.
They start their adventure together, but will they end it apart as they face the ultimate test of their loyalty and friendship.
